I’m not vegan, but I’ve gone through many vegan phases in my life, and I gotta say, there really is nothing that can’t be veganized! That cheese looks spectacular. Vegan cheese making is truly an art form.
I so agree Jenni! I thought the cheese was beautiful! And I realize most people will think I’m a little odd calling a cheese beautiful… but it was such a magical process and a delicious result!
Ooh, this is right up my alley! Definitely adding it to my to-read list.
It’s definitely a lot of fun! Pretty blown away by the results too!
Girl I would love to make my own vegan cheese!! Thanks!
It was so much fun! And of course very tasty too 😀
I always used to say, “I could never go vegan, I love cheese too much.” Then I ended up with a dairy allergy. XD All I can say is, thank goodness for homemade vegan cheese recipes! I’m really not a fan of daiya and the like and it tends to upset my stomach, so nut cheeses have been my go-to ever since I discovered them.
I’ve only made a few basic ones so far, but my husband got me this book for my birthday this year and I am super excited to try them all! I always get so sad at parties where there’s a cheese platter, with all those fancy herbed cheeses. Hopefully now I can bring some of my own vegan ones next time.
I adore nut cheese. Much much better than the stuff you can find in stores. We have much less variety than the US here in England too so even more reason to make my own.
How fun would it be to host a vegan cheese party?!
This cheese looks spectacular Emma! Craving it right now! Going to check it out, the post! I agree, so far, I have been able to pretty much veganize all of my comfort foods, still working on a couple 😉
My tastebuds have changed a lot since going vegan. I didn’t even really like cheese pre-vegan but now I love nut cheese. Likewise for milk!
I’ve really enjoyed everything that I’ve made from that book. Not everything was perfect, but the results were really interesting and the chemistry of the whole process was intriguing!
Definitely. I loved the whole process- felt rather magical transforming nuts into what tasted genuinely like cheese! I’m looking forward to more experiments…
interesting to read your thoughts on this - I have tried one cheese from the book but worry my blender was not great for making it more smooth - however I did enjoy it and do enjoy vegan cheese - though I still love my dairy cheese too. I really need to try more recipes from the book
I think a high powered blender is probably a must for the recipes in the book. I really was impressed with what I made and I wasn’t even a cheese eater pre-vegan!
I’ve always believed that there was a solid vegan alternative to absolutely everything, even in the infancy of my veganism- It just may not have been discovered yet! Now I’m thrilled to see that statement being realized in better and better recipes and products every day. Plus, your photos make these cheeses look even better than the plain written recipes. Way to bring that flavor to life!
This cheese seriously looks like a work of art!! And I kinda want to reach into my screen and eat that creamy, delicious pasta up!!! 😀 Awesome - I will definitely be looking into this book!
I have not yet attempted vegan cheese, though I am fairly fascinated by it! Off to check out your review!
I’m a huge fan of Miyoko and the true owner of Artisan Vegan Cheese cookbook (the only thing is I wish there are more photos in her cookbook). I love her cheese recipes, so glad that you tried her Boursin cheese, looks delicious!
I’m gonna check that guest post of yours out…
I’ve yet to make my own cheese yet, but because my partner is so convinced that creating that same taste is pretty much impossible (she’s Italian so no cheese ever compares), I’m now on a mission to prove her wrong and make my own.
Looks like I’ll have to get the book!
Definitely! It’s hard for me to remember exactly how dairy cheese tastes but I’m certain the vegan cheeses I made are very very convincing!
Interestingly enough, after about 2 years of not eating dairy, the few times I’ve accidentally eaten some (butter or cheese) it tastes kind of gross to me now. It has this sort of…sour flavor, and not in a good way. Like spoiled milk. And this is coming from someone who used to LOVE cheese.
Sometimes I see cheese platters and think I still miss it, but those accidental tastes make me think I actually like the homemade nut-based stuff a lot better now!
It’s weird how our tastes change isn’t it? Coming from the girl who didn’t like ANY fruit until my teens and who’s now a serious fruit bat!
Proof that anyone can change their habits!
